Pulsed sonoelectrochemical synthesis is a widely used technique for producing nanoparticles. In this technique, alternating pulses of electric current and power ultrasound are applied to an electrochemical cell to create and suspend particles in the electrolyte. The pulsed technique largely separates the particle morphology defining physical action of electrochemistry and ultrasound. Despite the large body of work characterizing the pulsed method, surprisingly little is written about the behavior of particles in the continuous case, where electric current and ultrasound are simultaneously present. In this thesis, continuous ultrasound assisted electrochemical synthesis of nanoparticles is established. Potentially useful mechanisms for particle size and shape control in continuous reactors are discussed. A continuous sonoelectrochemical reactor was designed and demonstrated to produce submicron copper powders. Improvements to the batch reactor design are proposed to extend the technique to a flow reactor useful for commercial production of submicron metal powders. by Joseph Reneker.
